Titan for my Civic 2.0

[KnightLTU]

:lol: Wah so many people got TitanED!

I also convinced already by so many good testimonials! Sure or not one :unsure: ? Ha ha ha!

Stan.. do you have any Civic ES customers? Would really want to drive my car fast but i tell u, my stock suspension :ph34r: will scare the shit out of u! HA ha ha! :lol: just jokin (previously driving Waja... Lotus really rules for stock setup).

Ok.. my current feel on my Civic is comfortable and very forgiving on the humps and bumps of the road... but as usual with comfort setting, u sacrifice handling. Don't know why but Civic ES's rear always feels like floating one especially when u driving fast and the highway's surface is uneven.

Whenver i turn in long corner fast, I would have to adjust accordingly my speed to compensate for not getting out of control (can push further with stock Waja then). So I'm pretty much convinced it is the suspension setup. Overall, just want handling more but still retain back some comfort.

Any Civic ES customer with that kind of request --> Evo like handling but comfortable enough to take Malaysia's harsh road?

Any input are very much appreciated! :lol:

hi Knight!

hahah your request is a common one :)
Civic ES.. that's the Civic with the 1.7 CVT gearbox right?

if that's so, i've a customer who consistently bullies other cars at highways (i'm (and TiTAN) are not liable nor responsible for his actions :P) and yet so comfortable he says.

and he's nuts (we love him) the car so new, barely 3000+km, engine bay so clean with all the manufacturer's seal and marker pen seals!
and he came and declares he wants to be TiTANed :lol:

oh well, hope he lives long and prosper :P

Evo like Handling? nah. Get an Evo instead :P

 

[ninja_iga]

oh his Nick everywhere is roh or Roh

 

[KnightLTU]

:lol: thanks dude!

Like that... your customer is the same as me lo.

My engine bay so clean (perasan) and manufacturer's seal still intact alround cos I sayang kereta ma :P

Like that, how is he's response after being TitanED? Good? :rolleyes:

Get Evo ah.. No money ah :lol:

Okie la.. let me rephrase... me want at least Waja / Focus like handling but still retains comfort! Can ah? :P

Thanks!

 

[ninja_iga]

if like that:
can... (easier to achieve..)

i should arrange a meet between us and Roh.. see how, lost contact liaw..

 

[KnightLTU]

:D Yeah lo.. see how first.

Cos car still new.. very 'kek sim' to take it apart so soon. Furthermore... he he he :lol: $ $ $ have too much commitments.

But wouldn't mind a test drive to see how's the improvement in handling TiTanED Civic ES would be.

:P Keep me posted.

 

[ninja_iga]

i'll see to what i can do :P

*note to self*

call Mr. Roh!

 

[KnightLTU]

;) I know this may sounds stupid.. but I'm a newbie in this area :P

What should be done first?

1) TitanED suspension or change RIMs + Tyres first?

Thanks.

 

[ninja_iga]

proper Rims and tyres first ;)

pls get the correct offset! veryvery important

 

[KnightLTU]

:blink: Offset? Oh boy :lol: What's that?

Care to enlighten.

Just a brief one will do. :rolleyes:

Thanks.

 

[ninja_iga]

Mr Roh is good for the test drive :)

we'll arrange a suitable time.

PM me when you're good and when you're not.


Offset?
the difference (of distance in mm) from the mounting face of the rim (that mounts to the knuckle/hub) to the center of the rim.

 

[KnightLTU]

:D Thanks man


Will PM u once the time is right and also the budget :lol:

All da best to business! :-)

Before you do that, make sure you know the difference between the suspension for:

A) 2001/2002 Civics and 2003 (beige interior)/2004 Civics?
B) Difference between 1.7 & 2.0 spring/dampers?

Be careful.

 

[ninja_iga]

scudracer

shouldnt be an issue ;)

what he meant was:

different models may have (usually) different spring rates and damping rates due to the different weight of the engines.



spring/dampers?

one's a spring, used to absorb all the crap our roads has to offer and literally carry our car off the road.

damper?
slows and controls the spring from bouncing outta control. Also controls the rate of roll, although not the ulitmate roll la.
(springs and anti-roll bar does that control)

both springs and damper/shock absorber must work in harmony to give a good feedback/feel to the driver/passengers.

:D Thanks man!

A lot more knowledgable now!
